[ light laughter ] i was like, "sweetie." >> jimmy: yeah, hello. >> come in the back. [ laughter ] anyway, and then what else. we talked about that. i asked her if she had ever swum in the lady pond. >> jimmy: i couldn't believe you asked that. >> she goes, "what?" >> jimmy: once she put it together. >> and then she said, "no, i haven't."

and then we moved on. >> jimmy: but it was -- yeah. yeah. were you nervous? i mean, you weren't even sweating. >> you kniow what, i was actually so nervous. i don't get really nervous before the show. that show i was shaking before the show, and i remember beforehand i was in the studio by myself and i was just kind of psyching myself up, and then the minute she walked in, i remember blurred lines was playing when she came into the clubhouse, and she danced in and i was like, "this is perfect." and it was like the happiest half hour of my year i mean, i don't know what that says about my year. >> jimmy: it was so great. >> no, i think it's good. >> jimmy: no, i loved it. it's a good year. you can watch it online. you gotta see it because it's just fantastic. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and then you had cher, that was the first one, right? >> cher-mageddon. >> jimmy: cher-mageddon was the first one. i was like, "i can't believe cher." how cool was that. and that was awesome. >> that was so great. >> jimmy: and then lady gaga came on. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and that was just fun. i've never seen her kind of let her guard down. she was so honest and she was so fun. and i read a tweet from lady gaga later on, after she left your show.

she said, "so @andy told me they made perfume out of my pee from the trash in the "watch what happens" dressing room. long story, you have been warned if he tries to sprits you." [ light laughter ] >> right. >> jimmy: i was so confused about this. >> here's the deal. so, she peed in a trash can in her dressing room. "dressing room." we don't really have dressing rooms. because it would have -- it's a long story, but she did. and then i -- she said on her way out, she goes, "look, i couldn't get my way to the bathroom, i'm so sorry." i mean, she's a superstar. she's lady gaga. she can pee wherever she wants. as far as i'm concerned. >> jimmy: i think so. >> i said to our pa's, i go, "you guys, we gotta do something with gaga's pee. like that's a pop culture artifact." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: andy. >> i'm sorry. i go, "you know, we could like bottle that up and put it somewhere in the clubhouse. like that's kind of major." so then, i have a renaissance p.a. named ryan king. and he e-mailed a few days

later. the p.a. is the pee assistant. [ laughter ] and he goes, "look, gaga's pee is going to go toxic." and i was like, "really?" he goes, "not because it's gaga's pee but just pee goes toxic apparently. >> jimmy: urine. >> yeah, urine. yeah you can't keep that. but he found a recipe online where you can make it into something else using alcohol and stuff. so he made it into perfume and so have it in a pretty bottle. i know, it's kind of gross, but that is the pop culture artifact if you ask me. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: only your show. >> guess what, that's going to be worth something. >> jimmy: yeah, that is. yeah. >> that's what i'm retiring on. >> jimmy: and it's one of those beautiful bottles with like, you know, the little bubbles. yes, i'm so happy you didn't bring it with you tonight. instead what you did bring is -- >> oh, yes, this is a shotski. now jimmy, every wednesday night on "watch what happens live" is shotski. it's jimmy fallon shotski night.

[ cheers and applause ] >> thanks romeo. >> jimmy: oh, okay, good. >> we're going to do it. what are we doing is this your classic? >> jimmy: this is my shotski. >> jimmy's jam right now. >> jimmy: this is my shotski. >> this is your jam. this is pineapple juice and jaeger. >> jimmy: that's correct. >> which is called a -- >> jimmy: surfer on acid. and a little bit of ga-ga pee. a little bit. >> don't waste it, it's going to be worth so much. >> okay, we can do this? >> jimmy: here we go. ready? >> one, two, three.
